"Look how they massacred my boy" but in a good way. Danny and Kevin discuss the latest (and greatest?) arc of the Andor show. What does fate have in store for Space Javert, Calrissian Andorian, Fascist Girlboss, Mon Mothma's Back!, Basil Oregano: Princess Leia's Non-Biological Father, and Stellan Skarsgård? Turns out that it's another round of some incredibly sturdy and entertaining storytelling from a man who has both never seen most of Star Wars and yet understands it better than most.

Send us a textThe galaxy far, far away has never felt so close to home. Andor strips away the mystical trappings of Star Wars to deliver something revolutionary: a raw, unflinching look at ordinary people pushed to extraordinary measures under the crushing weight of Imperial rule.From its opening moments, Andor establishes itself as something entirely different. We journey alongside Cassian, brilliantly portrayed by Diego Luna, as a chance encounter with corporate security officers spirals into a life-changing path toward rebellion. The beauty of this series lies in its patience—it doesn't rush to spectacular set pieces but instead builds its world methodically, letting us feel every oppressive regulation, every injustice, every small act of defiance that eventually ignites into something bigger.What makes this show truly exceptional is how it redefines heroism in the Star Wars universe. These aren't Jedi or chosen ones destined for greatness—they're damaged, desperate people making dangerous choices. The heist sequence culminating with the Eye of Aldani stands as one of the most visually stunning and emotionally complex moments in Star Wars history, revealing characters whose motivations span from idealism to revenge to simple survival. Stellan Skarsgård's Luthen Rael embodies this complexity perfectly, his antiquities dealer facade masking a revolutionary willing to sacrifice everything—including his soul—for the cause.Andor achieves something remarkable by working within the confines of established canon. By showing us the messy birth of rebellion years before A New Hope, it deepens our understanding of the entire saga. This isn't just great Star Wars—it's great television, period. Whether you're a lifelong fan or new to the galaxy, Andor offers something profound: a reminder that revolutions aren't born from heroes or mystical powers, but from ordinary people who simply decide they can no longer live under tyranny. The rebellion begins here.

In our podcast review of Andor Season 2, Episodes 4–6, THE HIVE dives into the masterful storytelling, political tension, and character complexity that make this the best Star Wars since...well, Andor Season 1. These episodes blend heist-thriller pacing with meditations on loyalty, sacrifice, and rebellion. While the cast shines—especially Diego Luna, Adria Arjona, and Stellan Skarsgård—it's writer Tony Gilroy who stands as the true hero. His razor-sharp dialogue and slow-burn tension elevate Andor with a near-perfect blend of world-building, suspense, and surprising emotional depth.

In “Andor” — the latest series in the “Star Wars” franchise — actor Stellan Skarsgård (Dune, Nymphomaniac, Mamma Mia!) plays Luthen Rael, a charming but ruthless rebel leader who fronts as an antiques dealer. Stellan sits down with Tom Power to talk about the new season of “Andor” and why he's drawn to morally complex characters. Plus, he shares a beautiful story about his time working with Robin Williams in Toronto on “Good Will Hunting.” If you enjoy this conversation, check out Tom's 2023 interview with Stellan's son, Alexander Skarsgård.

On this episode, Eric sits down with Genevieve O'Reilly & Stellan Skarsgård of ANDOR to discuss their roles in the second season of the Disney+ show.The first chapter of Andor season 2 is streaming April 22nd, with subsequent chapters debuting each week, exclusively on Disney+.

On this episode, Matt & Eric review the complete second season of ANDOR starring Diego Luna, Kyle Soller, Adria Arjona, Stellan Skarsgård, Fiona Shaw, Genevieve O'Reilly, Denise Gough, Faye Marsay, Varada Sethu, and Elizabeth Dulau.

Welcome back, Void! You get a monologue, and you get a monologue, AND YOU GET A MONOLOGUE!! Monologues for the ages! We're seriously awe-struck at the quality of the speeches in this half of the season. Andy Serkis leading the prison break, Stellan Skarsgård digging deep into sacrifice, and Fiona Shaw being the first stone thrown (literally). Following the first strike against the Empire at Aldhani, the sparks of rebellion are kindled across the galaxy. For each hero rising up, there is an equal psychopath torturing, stalking, and just being creepy. Mon Mothma is our "character growth" MVP as she chooses to walk the walk and sacrifice everything, even her daughter, to the rebellion. This season is one of the best pieces of Star Wars storytelling, period. 

This week on Screentime John Fardy talks to Stellan Skarsgård about reprising his role in the upcoming second series of Andor on Disney Plus as well as the show's creator Tony Gilroy, John also chats to documentary-maker Alex Fegan about his new film 'Sins of Ireland' which sees him explore the modern priesthood through the confession box. Plus, Chris Wasser reviews the latest cinema releases.

Ho Ho Ho Ho-ello there!It has come upon us once again: the Christmas season. And as was aforementioned, its getting darker. We must let you know that this was not planned... or our tolerance levels are so out of whack that we've blackened our souls and have detached ourselves from societal norms...Annnnyyyywwwaaaayyyyyy, there's nothing more Christmas-sy than Lars Von Trier! And this film; starring Stellan Skarsgård and Emily Watson, in her first film role, lets us know that we're in for a rough ride for a good 2 hours and 40 mins. Thankfully, it's all set on an "unnamed Scottish Isle" where everyone's accents are all over the place, the sideburns are "pure 70s", the medical equipment looks outdated, and it's all brown. And that means we're in the past.DESCEND INTO THE DARKNESS WITH US ALL!

Send us a textKatie and Bridget do some math on random chalkboards as they re-watch the iconic 90's hit: Good Will Hunting! It's a movie all about how maybe the janitor at your university is actually a secret genius who isn't able to recognize his own potential AND enjoys randomly beating people up whenever! ...IT COULD HAPPEN! Come along as we meet Will Hunting, a math/general genius/janitor who's intellect gets discovered by an MIT professor. To use their white privilege in order to avoid jail time, Will has to not only hang with the professor to do math (yes we think that's weird too), but he also has to go to therapy. Thank god that therapy is with ROBIN WILLIAMS! Will's life also takes a turn when he meets a girl who's not afraid to call him out on his shit and go off to California when he's being a jerk. With the help of therapy, some public shaming, and of course - Ben Affleck - Will faces his hardships and finally starts to aim for a higher purpose in life. You could say he's... DEFYINGGGG GRAVITYYYYY (sorry not sorry)! Released in 1997, it was written by Matt Damon and Ben Affleck and stars themselves along with Robin Williams, Stellan Skarsgård, Minnie Driver, Cole Hauser, and Casey Affleck.

For our month of musicals we certainly had some choices for the sub-sub genre of song movies known as “Jukebox Musicals”. These are musicals in which the music is based on pre-existing material. Maybe it's cheat mode when you're mining from something that was already popular but remember how not cool it was in that “A Knight's Tale” movie with Heath Ledger in it? Remember that shit? I guess that last Joker movie is technically a jukebox musical too, eh? Well we picked a bonafide moneymaker when it comes to jukebox musicals and you definitely gotta credit the songs because this plot is totally batshit. Maybe the most musically familiar to both hosts because they consider ABBA do be one of the most enjoyable pop groups of all time. You probably went to see this movie with your eccentric Aunt with the dangliest earrings, twice divorced, lived in Barcelona for three years and then Sarasota ever since, has a boyfriend from Morocco who is half her age. No shit we're talking about “MAMMA MIA!” From 2008 directed by Phyllida Lloyd and starring Meryl Streep, Amanda Seyfried, Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth & Stellan Skarsgård. Hit that zinfandel and then hit that play button. We're getting cheesy like a bachelorette party in downtown Nashville.

Will Hunting, Good Will Hunting en anglais, est un film américain de Gus Van Sant sorti en 1997. Lʹhistoire dʹun jeune balayeur qui travaille au MIT et qui sʹappelle Will Hunting. Orphelin, agressif, passant ses soirées à boire des bières et à assister à des matchs de baseball avec ses copains, il se révèle être en fait un surdoué, un véritable génie des mathématiques. Quand son talent est découvert, cʹest aussi le moment où il se fait arrêter pour voies de fait sur un policier. Il obtient sa libération à deux conditions : il devra suivre des cours particuliers avec le professeur de mathématiques qui se porte garant et suivre une psychothérapie. Cʹest en travaillant avec un psy issu des mêmes quartiers populaires que lui, que le jeune homme va trouver sa voie, sa vie et développer une formidable amitié pour son psy. Véritable film de rédemption, un voyage intérieur au cœur des mathématique, de la marginalité, de la construction de soi, de la raison et de la déraison, ce parcours initiatique met en scène Matt Damon et Ben Affleck qui en ont écrit le scénario. Une sorte de pari réussi sur lʹavenir pour les deux acteurs qui se sont dit un jour que sʹils voulaient des rôles intéressants, ils devaient les écrire eux-mêmes. Le scénario intéresse pas mal de maisons de productions, mais il faut du temps pour quʹil atterrisse entre les mains du réalisateur de My Private Idaho, Gus Van Sant, qui sʹentoure dʹun casting grandiose, Stellan Skarsgård, Minnie Driver et Robin Williams, pour mener le projet à bien. Film mélodramatique complètement assumé, le film est plus intéressant quʹil nʹy paraît. Gus Van Sant vient du cinéma indépendant. Il glisse à travers ses cadrages le portrait des gens en marge, des laissés pour compte, et propose un film qui a de véritables qualités de cœur. Et le public ne sʹy trompe pas. A sa sortie, Will Hunting plait beaucoup. Il est nommé 9 fois aux Oscars en 1998 et remporte celui du meilleur scénario pour Ben Affleck et Matt Damon et celui du meilleur acteur dans un second rôle pour Robin Williams. Il fait des deux jeunes acteurs, les nouvelles coqueluches dʹHollywood. Plongeons dans cette histoire de génie rebelle à la gueule dʹange, véritable conte de fée cinématographique, en un peu plus subtil.

We've crawled out of Halloween Humpfest but the creeping dread continues for just a little bit longer because it's time for another discussion in our overarching director topic for 2024. Yes, it is still a “dreary Year of von Trier” and what shit-hole year it's been. Heading down the final stretch, it's safe to say that the overall feeling of dread may bleed into the following year but we will be done with Lars von Trier, at least, until he gets around to making the third of his USA-Land of Opportunity trilogy. Today, we discuss the first of that trilogy and our introduction to Grace Mulligan in von Trier's twisted take on American Folklore with his 2003 film “DOGVILLE” and it has a hell of cast that includes Nicole Kidman, Paul Bettany, Lauren Bacall, Stellan Skarsgård, Cloe Sevigny, Philip Baker Hall, James Caan and that's only half of them. John Hurt narrates a tale of Grace who is on the run from mobsters and cops. She stumbles upon a strange tiny town. The town is skeptical but they give her a chance to be part of the village if she proves herself helpful by doing labor for each member of the town. When the heat turns up and questions continue they may need a little bit more from Grace to justify her presence. Then a little more. Just a little more. If this all becomes too much can Grace escape? We see the clues along the way (dude is reading “Tom Sawyer”) but when it's all said and done, can glowing optimism make space for a sense of justice? All this within a minimal set design in which walls only exist within the minds of the characters. You know who made this movie so you should have specific expectations. That's right. Call the in-laws. It's movie night.

What a journey. We're rolling through our ninth discussion in our year-long theme of A DREARY YEAR OF VON TRIER. This US election year was guaranteed to feel heavy and hopeless and it's lived up to that spectacularly. Add a dozen Lars von Trier movies to that because why not? Today we talk of his third in his “Depression Trilogy” and it's definitely a fun one to trick your in-laws into watching. If you can talk your mother-in-law into watching the complete 5 hour and 20 minute director's cut of the 2013 film “NYMPHOMANIAC” then you deserve a large trophy at the very least. That's what Bob and Angela did. The whole damn thing. Charlotte Gainsbourg plays Joe, a nymphomaniac. She's found beaten and pissed on by Seligman, played by Stellan Skarsgård, an asexual and learned man who helps her out and hears her sordid stories of BJs, DPs, S&Ms, MMFs and you figure you would hear more about VDs, STDs and other things after sleeping with hundreds, maybe thousands, of people but not really. HPV at the very least. I think most of us have that one except Seligman. There is a home abortion in this movie so make sure you don't miss that. We got quite the ensemble that includes Shia LeBeouf, Stacy Martin, Christian Slater, Jamie Bell, Uma Thurman, Willem Dafoe, Mia Goth and more. The movie is called “Nymphomaniac” and it's by Lars von Trier and it's what you would expect so let's get up in them guts and talk about it.

Aujourdʹhui en écoutant Travelling, cʹest certain, vous allez chanter et danser, vous ne pourrez pas vous en empêcher. Car cʹest Abba que nous vous proposons : leur vie, leur œuvre, leurs chansons, et un film : Mamma Mia ! de Phyllida Lloyd sorti en 2008. Film à succès au box-office, boudé néanmoins par la critique, récoltant plus de 615 millions de dollars à travers le monde, cette comédie musicale romantique est un véritable phénomène de société. Cʹest bien simple, une fois quʹon y a goûté, on y revient, et on le regarde en famille, entre amis et amies, et on se le repasse quand on a un petit coup de mou. Des plus vieux au plus jeunes, le rythme, les chorégraphies, et la musique dʹAbba emportent joyeusement tout le monde. Et ce nʹest pas grave si cʹest kitch ou si lʹintrigue est vraiment téléphonée. Porté par Meryl Streep principalement, une actrice qui a toujours su chanter et danser, lʹhistoire reprend la trame de la comédie musicale de Catherine Johnson, mise en scène au théâtre par Phyllida Lloyd. Tout se passe sur une île grecque idyllique, où vivent Donna Sheridan et sa fille Sophie. Cette dernière va se marier et a secrètement invité trois hommes dont elle soupçonne que lʹun dʹeux est son père. Imbroglio, révélation de secrets, histoires dʹamour à tiroir, amitié, décor de rêve, et chansons dʹAbba, tout est réuni pour que ça cartonne. Le casting est royal : Meryl Streep on vous lʹa dit, Amanda Seyfried, Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth, Stellan Skarsgård et jʹen passe. Il y a même Benny Andersson et Björn Ulvaeus, les deux messieurs dʹAbba, qui font une apparition. Mais je ne vais pas vous faire languir plus longtemps. Nous avons pour parler de Mamma Mia ! des documentaires, des archives, des interviews, des extraits et bien entendu la musique, celle dʹAbba, chantée par le groupe, mais également la musique du film chantée par les actrices et les acteurs. Préparez-vous : Donna vient de se rendre compte que ses trois anciens amants sont cachés dans lʹétable qui jouxte son hôtel. Mamma Mia ! Les retrouvailles et les explications qui vont avec vont être au cœur du film.

It's time for the third installment of our side project known as Hwaet a Movie! In this episode, we give the Saga Thing treatment to the 2005 Canadian-Icelandic film Beowulf and Grendel. If you haven't seen it yet, do yourself a favor and watch it (even if our review might not cast it in the brightest light). The film stars Gerard Butler as Beowulf, Stellan Skarsgård as Hrothgar, and Sarah Polley as Selma the witch. Don't worry if one of those characters doesn't sound familiar. And while the film could be better in a number of ways, we do appreciate much of what they were attempting here. As an added bonus, the film was shot in Iceland. That means that no matter what's happening at the front of a scene, there's always a beautiful backdrop for this interesting interpretation of the epic Old English poem about a monster-fighting Geat in Denmark. Each Hwaet a Movie episode includes an exhaustive summary and discussion, a brief Q&A, and then our final ratings categories for the film's take on Beowulf, Grendel, and Grendel's mother. We conclude by rating the film for its faithfulness to the source material and then for its entertainment value. This one takes a while to get through, but that's because this one offers a lot of grist for the mill. We'll be back after Valla-Ljot's Saga with the next installment of Hwaet a Movie. And don't worry, we've only scratched the surface of Beowulf movies so far.

The film, set in a small comminuty in the Scottish Highlands in the 1970s, tells the story of Bess McNeill, a simply, godly woman who marries outsider oil rig worker Jan. When Jan is paralyzed after a work accident, he compels Bess to take other lovers in order to "keep him alive"...a task which she steadily comes to believe has divine connotations. Shot in 35mm 'scope with the great Robby Muller behind the camera, the film is a visually staggering work broaching difficult subject matter in the realms of faith, sexuality, and patriarchy all rendered in Von Trier's singular tenor, equal parts brutal, earnest, and cheekily playful.We discuss the career of Von Trier, his work as a founding member of the Dogme95 collective, and the later period evolution of his storytelling. Then, we wrestle with the film's themes and execution of its ideas. Does the movie hold up for a longtime devotee and a newcomer alike? Finally, we try to make sense of Von Trier's oeuvre, and what - if anything - could be considered the trademarks of his style.Follow Liam Billingham on Twitter.Listen and subscribe to Die Hard On A Blank Podcast.Read & Subscribe to Peter Raleigh's Newsletter 'Long Library'. ....Our theme song is "Mirror" by Chris Fish

We are putting both Dune Parts I and II on trial this week. Will we get our just deserts, or does it leave us high and dry? Alex and Ausy say this is the definitive adaptation of the book, unlikely to be surpassed with such attention to detail in every aspect of production. Dave argues that too much detail causes a sluggish pace, the film thoroughly exploring every part of the book for a collective runtime of over five hours. All this with an awful attempt at a Charlotte Rampling impression, a much better try at Stellan Skarsgård and a spicy film quiz. www.filmsontrial.co.uk/252

Send us a Text Message.NOLANVOID FIVE!For the first in our third set of NOLAN VOID pairings this week, TGTPTU hosts Ken and Thomas take on the surprisingly linear INSOMNIA (2002) with newly appointed co-host Ryan to introduce a new drinking game guaranteed to kill any participant: take a dose of an alcohol every time Kenneth says something about not wanting to compare Nolan's adaption to the 1997 Stellan Skarsgård-starring Norwegian original… and then does exactly that. Perhaps one reason for the linearity of Nolan film starring three previous Oscar-award winners (Al Pacino, Robin Williams, and Hilary Swank) was it has the unique distinction of being his only film without a screenplay credit by. Rather, scripting the adapted Insomnia was the work of Hillary Seitz who is also credited with writing a grand total of three movies: a never-released dark comedy Early Bird Special (small role with Jon Hamm), Eagle Eye (starring Indiana Jones' son later of Transformers fame), and, in 2021, The Unforgivable (starring Sandra Bullock, Viola Davis, Vincent D'onfrio who we all know as Thor in Adventures in Babysitting), which received limited release and was Netflix top film for two weeks before being bumped by a film starring Mother!, Margaret Thatcher, Madea, Willy Wonka, Howard Hughes, and Hellboy (yes, of course, we're mentioning the unmentionable Don't Look Up). Returning from Memento are both Wally Pfister as cinematographer (and will stay with Sir Chris until DK Rises) and Dody Dorn as editor (who leaves for Ridley Scott flicks after this) while old-timer David Julyan scores again (having done so previously for both Following and Memento).  This week, along with Ken gripes regularly comparing Nolan's to the original, in a surprising twist Ryan and Thomas find themselves aligned in enjoying this Americanized thriller. That Chris Nolan, don't sleep on him.THEME SONG BY: WEIRD A.I.Email: thegoodthepodandtheugly@gmail.comFacebook: https://m.facebook.com/TGTPTUInstagram: https://instagram.com/thegoodthepodandtheugly?igshid=um92md09kjg0Twitter: https://twitter.com/thegoodthepoda1YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6mI2plrgJu-TB95bbJCW-gBuzzsprout: https://thegoodthepodandtheugly.buzzsprout.com/Letterboxd (follow us!):Ken: Ken KoralRyan: Ryan Tobias

For this week's main podcast review, I am joined by Lauren LaMagna, Josh Parham, Dan Bayer, Cody Dericks, Giovanni Lago & Daniel Howat. Today, we are reviewing the latest film from Denis Villeneuve, "Dune: Part Two," starring Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Rebecca Ferguson, Josh Brolin, Austin Butler, Florence Pugh, Dave Bautista, Christopher Walken, Léa Seydoux, Souheila Yacoub, Stellan Skarsgård, Charlotte Rampling & Javier Bardem. Continuing after 2021's Oscar-winning "Dune" (or "Dune: Part One"), the second half of the story brings Frank Herbert's classic 1965 sci-fi novel to life in a way many thought we would never see. Shot on a grand scale, with massive production value, and shown on the largest screens in the world in IMAX, it has kicked off 2024 with a bang as the movie event of the year so far. Such an epic film deserves an epic review, and that's what we're here to give you in our SPOILER-FILLED conversation where we discuss Villeneuve's directing, adaptation of the source material, the performances, the craftsmanship, its awards season chances, and more.
